I am 22 and I am new to taking birth
control I have ovcon I am supposed to
start taking it cuz my periods are not

pill. The second day still bleeding but

Sometimes it takes a few months for our
bodies to adjust to birth control pills,
especially in your case since you already
have irregular periods. Keep taking the
pill on a regular basis at the same time
everyday and watch for breakthrough
bleeding and other side effects. After
the first month if you are experiencing
severe side effects or you aren't happy
with the pill anymore than talk to your
gynecologist about it. Maybe (s)he can
offer another type of pill that will be
better suited to your needs. Like I
mentioned earlier, it may take a few
months for your body to adjust to all of
these new hormones, but with time, you
should be pleased with the results.
